Rodent-Proofing Your Home: Why Exclusion is Better Than Trapping

If you have a boat with a hole in it, bailing out the water won’t keep you afloat. You have to plug the hole. The same logic applies to rodent control. Setting traps is like bailing water; exclusion is plugging the hole.

What is Rodent Exclusion? Exclusion is the process of physically modifying your home to prevent rodents from entering. It is the gold standard of modern pest control because it solves the root cause of the infestation.

Common “Holes” in Atlanta Homes:

  • Utility Entries: Gaps where pipes and wires enter the foundation or siding.
  • Rooflines: Gaps between the fascia and the roof deck.
  • Vents: Attic and crawlspace vents with damaged or missing screens.
  • Garage Doors: Worn-out rubber seals at the bottom of the door.
